Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

After hearing what Yang Bing said, Lin Yi shook his head.

"No."

"If this gun is as expensive and cumbersome to maintain as you say, then it is not a successful weapon for soldiers."

"The battlefield environment is complex and ever-changing, and soldiers don't have that much time to maintain a gun, so your task is to design a weapon that is easy to maintain and easy to use."

"So, you are thinking about this gun and see how to improve it."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice." Yang Bing responded quickly when he heard Lin Yi's words.

The person in charge of recording on the side quickly recorded Lin Yi's evaluation and improvement directions for the gun in a notebook. After preparing to go back, I will put forward suggestions for improvement to the engineer responsible for developing this gun.

"If there are any good things left, take them out and take a look." Lin Yi was very satisfied with Yang Bing's work attitude.

For Lin Yi, one cannot be afraid of making mistakes when designing a weapon. Only through continuous trial and error can we create better weapons.

Compared with the lives of the soldiers, the cost of this trial and error can be said to be negligible.

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Yang Bing waved to another soldier, and the soldier immediately trotted all the way to the two of them.

"Your Majesty, this is a gadget recently developed by our research institute."

"The design concept comes from the mortar we designed before."

"We were thinking about how to strengthen the firepower of the grassroots infantry squad, so we wanted to design a small weapon that could be carried by an individual soldier and easy to operate."

"It is used to make up for the firepower problem between artillery and soldiers' overdraft grenades, so we designed this hand cannon based on the principles of mortars."

"This kind of hand cannon only needs to be loaded with specific ammunition to throw explosives to a range of up to 150 meters, which greatly enhances the firepower output of the infantry squad."

With that said, Yang Bing took out a gadget that was only over 30 centimeters.

One end of this chaotic weapon is a hollow cylinder, while the other end is an iron rod. At one end of the iron rod, there is something similar to a pedal.

No matter how Lin Yi looked at this thing, it looked like the grenade that Sakura used during World War II.

"Awesome, can you build this thing?" Lin Yi sighed in his heart.

To say that this grenade is indeed a great weapon for individual combat.

It can launch grenades carried by soldiers and throw the grenades to a distance of tens or even hundreds of meters.

In actual combat, some experienced soldiers can use grenades to carry out fixed-point blasting on some heavy firepower points, and they can hit wherever they point.

At that time, it caused huge casualties to our army in later generations.

Lin Yi never mentioned this kind of weapon to Yang Bing and the others, but Yang Bing and the others still thought of it themselves.

Although the introduction of this weapon can greatly enhance the individual firepower of soldiers, it also has a minor shortcoming.

The disadvantage is that it fires ammunition.

As we all know, in the Sakura Army of later generations, because they had many grenades, most of their grenades were cylindrical style grenades.

Among the people, many people call this kind of grenade the melon thunder.

This kind of grenade needs to serve as the propellant of the grenade when necessary, so it generally has a relatively large charge.

The large amount of explosives means that it is very lethal.

Moreover, since it can be used as a throwing object or can be thrown directly by hand, for soldiers, they only need to carry one kind of grenade instead of two, which greatly reduces the burden on the soldiers and enhances their strength. The endurance of the grenade.

After all, as long as there are grenades, theoretically, they can be thrown wirelessly.

But the disadvantage is also that it needs to act as a grenade charge.

Therefore, the fuse of this grenade is double insured.

For ordinary grenades or grenades, you only need to remove the fuse and throw them.

But in order to match the grenade, Sakura's grenade still needs to be knocked after the fuse is pulled out.

If you knock hard, your head won't be able to bear it, but if you knock lightly, it won't explode.

Lin Yi looked at the thing in his hand, and he couldn't help but look at Yang Bing and asked: "Do you need to hit this thunder?"

Yang Bing was obviously startled when he heard Lin Yi's words, and then looked at Lin Yi with some confusion.

"My lord, how did you know?"

When Lin Yi heard this, he complained directly in his heart.

How to know? Apart from this solution, is there any other way you can solve the problem of delayed detonation?

When he thought of this, Lin Yi felt like his head was buzzing.

But no matter what, the grenade is a good thing. Definitely an infantry squad, important fire support.

Imagine being a squad platoon of soldiers encountering an enemy's bunker or firepower point during a street battle.

At this time, our own firepower output was not in place.

Then the squad without grenades is likely to be suppressed by the enemy's firepower.

But with the grenade squad, you can directly use the grenade in your hand to attack the opponent's fire points without waiting for the deployment of your own firepower.

Since the grenade also shoots in a curve, the soldiers can hide behind a safe bunker and attack the enemy.

Moreover, the firing range of more than [-] meters is enough to help soldiers gain an advantage in street fighting.

Lin Yi felt that based on this alone, his Long Xiang army should be equipped with some.

After all, it is only a small thing that weighs a few kilograms, but it can play a huge role on the battlefield. Lin Yi thinks it should be equipped.

However, Lin Yi felt that this grenade could be redesigned, and there was no need to make it a dual-use grenade.

On the battlefield, grenades with long handles are more convenient to use. After all, this thing can be used as a hammer to hit people without throwing it, and the effect is also impressive.

Regarding the ammunition used in the grenade, Lin Yi prefers to design it as a special rifle grenade of later generations, that is, the kind that looks a bit like a large bullet.

This design can be loaded with more explosives to maximize its power.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi put forward his idea and told Yang Bing.

After listening to Lin Yi's thoughts, Yang Bing also put forward his own opinions.

At first, they did consider the design of grenade-throwing ammunition as Lin Yi said, but later they considered that in emergencies, soldiers could use human throwing, so they designed it in the style of hand grenades.

Lin Yi refuted Yang Bing. In his opinion, although the empire's current military industry cannot be said to be the best in the world, it can still meet the needs of the army and is even wealthy.

Since the empire now has no shortage of such things, it should go for high-quality products and maximize the power of various weapons instead of compromising.

I feel that there is no need to consider this aspect and worry about that aspect. The imperial family has a great cause, so it doesn't lack this little thing. So if you want to do it, you must do it to the extreme.

When Yang Bing heard Lin Yi's words, he thought for a moment and decided that it made sense. He told Lin Yi that after he returned, he would start improving the grenade to make up for the gap between grenades and mortars. A weapon to maximize its power.
